If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Morodomi.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Morodomi a breeze. Below are some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your ID and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
